Top Hair Trends for the Season: Cuts, Colours, and Styles to Try Now!
With the season’s change in full swing, now is the perfect time to refresh your look. Whether you’re after a subtle update or a bold transformation, there’s a hairstyle trend that’s bound to suit your style and make you feel fabulous. Here’s Axis Hairdressing’s take on the top cuts, colours, and styles that are making waves right now. From warm autumnal hues to effortlessly chic cuts, these are the trends you’ll want to try this season!
1. The Shag Cut: Embrace Texture and Movement
If you’re looking to add some edge to your style, the shag cut is one of the hottest trends right now. This versatile cut works for both short and long hair and gives a laid-back yet stylish vibe. Think lots of layers, natural movement, and effortless volume.
The modern shag is perfect for adding texture, whether you have fine or thick hair. It’s a great choice if you want to embrace your natural waves or add a bit of bounce to straighter hair. Style it with a salt spray or a texturising product to enhance the look.
Why we love it: It’s low-maintenance yet full of personality and can be adapted to suit nearly any hair type and face shape.
2. Bold Bob: Sharp, Sleek, and Sophisticated
The bob is an iconic cut that’s making a big comeback this season, especially the blunt bob. This cut sits around chin-length and features clean, sharp lines, creating a polished and sophisticated look. The blunt bob is ideal for those looking for a low-fuss style that still makes a statement.
For added effect, opt for a sleek, straight finish or tuck one side behind the ear for an effortlessly chic look. If you want a softer look, the textured bob or “wob” (wavy bob) is a fantastic option. Pair it with curtain bangs or side-swept fringe for extra style points.
Why we love it: It’s elegant, easy to style, and gives you an instant confidence boost. Plus, it looks just as stunning on textured hair as it does on straight hair.
3. Warm, Rich Colours: Autumnal Tones to Try
With the cooler months here, it’s time to swap out summer blondes and brights for warmer, richer tones. From deep brunettes to golden coppers, these shades are perfect for adding warmth to your look. Here are some top choices:
- Chocolate Brown: A classic and universally flattering shade that adds depth and richness to any look.
- Warm Caramel Balayage: Perfect for brunettes who want dimension without going too light, caramel tones add subtle warmth.
- Copper Red: This bold, vibrant hue is ideal if you’re looking for a dramatic change. Copper complements a wide range of skin tones and gives your hair a healthy, shiny appearance.
Why we love them: These warm shades add a natural glow to your complexion, making them ideal for the season’s darker, cooler days.
4. The Curtain Fringe: Soft, Stylish, and Perfectly Framing
The curtain fringe is having a moment, and it’s easy to see why. This soft, parted fringe is incredibly versatile and flattering, as it frames the face without being too high-maintenance. Curtain bangs look lovely paired with layers or a bob and are easy to style with a bit of volume at the roots or a subtle curl at the ends.
Whether you’re wearing it with a sleek bun or loose waves, the curtain fringe adds a retro, romantic touch to any hairstyle. Plus, it grows out beautifully, making it a great option if you’re fringe-curious but don’t want a full-on commitment.
Why we love it: It’s universally flattering, works with various hair types, and is easy to style, making it perfect for a quick style update.
5. Glossy, Healthy Hair: Shiny Locks for the Win
Healthy, shiny hair never goes out of style. This season, it’s all about embracing your natural hair texture but with an ultra-glossy finish. You can achieve this look with regular treatments, such as the OLAPLEX Smooth Your Style Kit, which we have available in-store.
Adding a nourishing hair oil or serum to your routine will give you that radiant, polished look. Opt for products that offer heat protection as well, especially if you’re using styling tools. Regular trims will also help keep your ends looking fresh and prevent split ends.
Why we love it: Healthy hair is always in fashion, and it makes any style look that much better!
6. Effortless Waves: Embrace the “Lived-In” Look
This season’s waves are all about looking natural and relaxed. The lived-in wave, sometimes known as the “undone wave,” gives off a casual yet chic vibe and works well on both medium and long hair. To achieve this look, use a large-barrel curling wand and gently tousle your hair with your fingers.
The best part? This style works with day-old hair and requires minimal upkeep. You can even add some dry shampoo to boost texture and volume, giving you that effortless style with minimal effort.
Why we love it: This style is great for any occasion, from casual outings to more formal events, and it’s easy to create at home.
7. Accessories: Amp Up Your Style Game
Last but not least, don’t underestimate the power of hair accessories! Statement hair clips, silk scarves, and headbands are all in vogue right now. These little touches can elevate a simple hairstyle and add a bit of glamour to your everyday look.
Whether you’re pinning back your fringe, securing a half-up style, or adding a pop of colour with a scarf, accessories make it easy to experiment without a big commitment.
Why we love it: Accessories are a fun, quick way to update your style, and they add a touch of personality to any look.
